“B.J. really cares about your improvement. Lessons were clear and to the point. No fluff. A couple of drills were also given with full, easy to understand, reasons why the drills were given. I went to the driving range and practiced while using the drills and I knew what feel and feedback I was looking for. I have shaved several strokes of my round by working with B.J.” – Ricky Wasden, Washington GA
